Greg Poltrock

Downtown Saugatuck is one of my favorite places to play and the other piano players agree, too. The Coral Gables Annex Piano Bar is a rocking great time with a rotation of singing piano players taking your requests. Its boisterous, cross generational and cathartic!

Saugatuck. Like Key West but coooler. Photobucket

I was invited to add piano and synth to the latest Glenn Bulthuis CD. Great songs, Glenn.

My Gigging Life - A Memoir

I seem to be writing a memoir called "My Gigging Life", a history of why a kid like me became a professional musician, and what it was like to grow up as a musician around the Grand Rapids area.

   About Greg Poltrock
Piano, keyboards, drums, and music technology have been my passion and I've been lucky to have had a wide variety of music opportunities over the years including performances with rock, pop, country, blues, funk, praise, and big bands as well as theater productions, and even the Grand Rapids Symphony. My most recent musical alter ego includes gigs as a dueling piano banger, piano bar singer, and cocktail pianist.

Freelancing as a studio musician, I've created music for commercial, instructional, and entertainment industries and I've served as an adjunct faculty member at Grand Valley State University. In Japan, I studied piano manufacturing and, since 1984, have worked in the music retail industry and currently serve as sales manager for Keyboard World in Grand Rapids.

West Michigan has so many great musicians that I've known and had the pleasure of making music with. I am also a shameless name dropper and include this small list of entertainers I have either shared a stage with or warmed up for: Bo Diddley, Huey Lewis, Head East, Henry Mancini, The Kinsey Report, Sugar Blue, Albert Collins, and Steppenwolf. That is a pretty strange list. Theater shows incuded Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop Of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Sunday In the Park With George and Nine.

1473 gigs and counting.

hey, just stopping by to say hi - hope you're doing well.

I've got my new single 'Dancing On The Kitchen Tiles" on my page at the moment, as well as a couple of new live videos. I'd love to know what you think.

Just spreading some love your way - Thanks and enjoy the Christmas season! PS: the song Feel Good, should make you feel good! :o)

Greg,
That was one of the most fun gigs I ever did. Our drummer had like a 105 degree fever & I had just learned to play guitar like the year or 2 B4! but it was really fun. & U rock on keys.
& Thanks for the kind words.
Bgood
Your Friend,

Sorry to see you're not in Saugatuck this weekend. My mother-in-law had the best time last summer and even got a wallflower out of her chair (some stranger) to dance on the piano. Oh the power of wine!
Have a super weekend!
